High-quality fibers and films made from recycled plastics and biopolymers: Sustainability requirements from society and regulators are now affecting every industry and are leading to a reassessment and further development of many products. Recycled materials and the use of renewable raw materials are playing an increasingly important role in plastics - at Fraunhofer CCPE, we are therefore rethinking the plastics cycle for biopolymer and recycled applications. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eftGRdkh #fibers #films #plastics #circulareconomy #biopolymers

♻️How can we practically advance circularity and recycling of plastics, closing the loop from waste to new plastic production? ⚡Pyrolysis, a form of "advanced recycling" that uses heat to break down polymers into basic building blocks, is a viable technology that can be scaled-up to significantly increase closed-loop recycled plastics. In our Global Impact Coalition 🌍 project POSU-24: Pyrolysis Oil Supply Upgrade, we are working to build a platform to enable the scale-up of pyrolysis for the increased utilization of pyrolysis oil as a viable alternative feedstock for chemical companies. 🧪 A report from Eunomia Research & Consulting conducted for the Alliance to End Plastic Waste looked at feedstock considerations for pyrolysis, based on discussions with pyrolysis operators in Europe and the US. 🌱 According to the study, "Figure 1 shows a generalized depiction of the placement of pyrolysis within its value chain, showing the full system that must align in order for pyrolysis to contribute to plastics-to-plastics recycling at scale." 🔁 See the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eeTpAM8m #Pyrolysis #ChemicalIndustry #CircularEconomy #PlasticsRecycling #AdvancedRecycling

Reshaping Sustainability: A Deep Dive into the Plastics Recycling Market The plastics recycling market is witnessing significant growth due to increasing environmental concerns, rising awareness about plastic pollution, and regulatory initiatives promoting sustainable practices. Plastics recycling plays a crucial role in mitigating the environmental impact of plastic waste by reducing the need for virgin plastic production, conserving resources, and minimizing landfill accumulation. Key drivers of market expansion include growing public consciousness regarding single-use plastics, corporate sustainability initiatives, and technological advancements in recycling processes. Moreover, the emergence of circular economy models and the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs further stimulate demand for recycled plastics. Despite these positive trends, challenges such as inadequate recycling infrastructure, limited market demand for recycled plastics, and contamination issues hinder market growth. To address these challenges and unlock the full potential of the plastics recycling market, stakeholders are investing in infrastructure development, innovation in recycling technologies, and collaboration along the value chain.

Let's #quantify the #carbon retention in (recycled) #plastic products. Okay, but then you need a method to do that...? Such a method has been developed, and it was used to assess #carbon #loss in 3 different case studies for production, consumption and end-of-life treatment of plastic products (#BASEline scenario, #BIObased route and #ELECtrified route). A must read article for anyone involved in #plastics, #sustainability, #circularity and #decarbonization. Here is the link to read the article : https://lnkd.in/esp6CtBj Big thank you to our STEPChem colleagues Dr. ir. Stijn Van Der Perre and Tomas Wyns for grinding their teeth in this problem, in collaboration with prof.
